Birmingham City meet Wolves in a massive Midlands derby in the 2026-27 Sky Bet Championship.

Stat Attack

- Wolves have won four of their last five visits to Birmingham (W4, L1).
- Wolves have kept clean sheets in four of their last six meetings against Birmingham.

Prediction
Having battled their way to a scrappy point against Southampton, Birmingham really need to find a way to be more clinical if they’re to find a first home win of the season as they’re capable of a promotion push if can stop conceding goals and picking up draws.
Wolves meanwhile were just wasteful at West Ham which hasn’t exactly been a happy hunting ground and every team has an off day here and there, so this is about getting back in the saddle now and producing a reactionary statement as they have the firepower to get a win here if are more composed.
Although Birmingham will try and make this as tight as possible, I do think that Wolves will have enough quality to pull through.
Prediction: Birmingham 1-2 Wolves
Result: Birmingham 2-2 Wolves
